HD Voice Service Background • Phone.com launched HD Voice service on October 27, 2009 • HD minutes - 100% growth month by month • Major growth expected during 2010 • Selling Polycom HD phones to our business accounts • Adding more Polycom HD phone models as we go • Just added HD Conferencing www.phone.com
HD VS. SDCan you spell that phonetically? • Audio Sample • SD = Standard Definition • Or Toll Quality • (AM radio quality) • Audio Sample • HD = High Definition • (FM radio quality) • No need to spell any word or name phonetically www.phone.com
CPU & BW “Constant” Low Compression Higher Compression About thesame data rate & cost Higher available CPU Power Lower available CPU Power High Sampling Rate Low Sampling Rate G.711 – 64Kbps – SD G.722 – 64-48Kbps – HD www.phone.com
Protocols • How do protocols affect HD proliferation www.phone.com
The VoIP foreplay • PSTN Protocol • SIP Protocol Ring, I can do HD, SD, and how are you today? Ring Fine thank you. HD it is. Talk Or, I can do HD but my network is congested. Or, I am running out of battery lets use SD. Ok, let me know when you have the BW and we can switch to HD www.phone.com
With negotiation enabledthe sky is the limit. • New technology can be deployed unilaterally • As more devices get it, utilization grows • Consumer quality-perception rise • Perceived value increases • People now have FEW compelling reasons to switch The network effect • The more people own an HD phone, the more valuable the HD phone is to each owner. www.phone.com
Almost there… • We have the voice technology • We have sufficient Bandwidth • We have sufficient CPU power • We have free HD Codecs • But, friction still exists www.phone.com
Calls To, From and Via PSTN, reduce the quality The PSTN friction VoIP VoIP VoIP VoIP VoIP VoIP VoIP VoIP VoIP www.phone.com
The Tipping Point • As Cellular devices support native HD VOIP and VOIP Addressability • Billions of devices will suddenly become HD capable • Networks will adopt, or diminish • Not to have an HD phone will be impolite • HD will become a reality www.phone.com
How Can We Accelerate • Phone.com is HD connected to Voxbone • G.722 • Voxbobe is HD connected to Skype • SILK • France Telecom is experimenting HD cellular • WMR-WB • HD Peering is inevitable – But who will do the transcoding? www.phone.com
Expected Transcoding Cost www.phone.com
My Suggestion • G.711, G.722, SILK, are all free • Persuade patent holders to license AMR-WB for FREE! to peering fabric providers. • Eliminate extra cost associated with Codecs • Accelerate the network effect • Sell more licenses to end points www.phone.com
